Skavsta up 43.8%
Published: 03 May 2011
April 2010 all European aviation was disrupted by volcanic ash and the monthly figures were woefully down by 19% compared to 2008. During April - without ash cloud, and with an expanded summer schedule - Skavsta increased the passenger volume by 43.8%.
- It is very gratifying that our 57 routes attract travel happy passengers, says Dot Gade Kulovuori, Managing Director of Stockholm Skavsta Airport. We confidently look forward to a glorious summer with new passenger records. In April, six new routes were opened: Wizz Air started to fly to Belgrade and Vilnius. Ryanair opened the routes to Thessaloniki, Rhodes, Lamezia Terme and Rijeka.
248 713 passengers travelled through Stockholm Skavsta Airport this month, compared to 172 946 in April 2010.
